"It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." – Eleanor Roosevelt
Autumn sneaks in subtly, here in Texas – so we try to create our own seasonal change. We all know that fragrances can trigger emotions and solidify memories. A few years ago we burned this Trapp candle through the fall months, we liked it so much we made it a part of our home experience the next year, and again the next … We're hooked! Today I made my annual trip to Sample House and purchased our traditional Trapp Candle {orange/vanilla} of course. We'll burn it sparingly along with unscented candles to help it last longer.
Candles soften the environment and emit a relaxing atmosphere. In our house – fall demands orange/vanilla waffling through the house – change is 'in the air'.
These days, I live in a house chalked full of men. Victoria is serving in Bolivia for the semester, Priscilla is newly married and I'm the only female at home. Now, more than ever, we need fragrant candles! But none of those foo-foo candles – I save those for my private space. In respect to the men around here I burn a stronger more natural smelling candle.
Just 2 days into my 31-day challenge – we can walk up the front steps to our house and be welcomed by a porch beaming with life, step in the front door and get a whiff of the fragrance we've all grown to recognize.
This 31 Days of Lovely series reminds me it's the little things that make all the difference in daily life. Such small gestures convey the message that we are welcomed and loved in our own homes.
I look forward, with great anticipation, to the days ahead. Continue alongside of me – as we cultivate loveliness for those we love the most – our own family members.

Stress busting readreread, snarky, humor, pirate-treasure, historical-romance, cartography Read from January 01, 2013 to July 10, 2016 This is one of my *go to* books that I finally had to get in audio. Whenever real life needs to go away for a while, I need one of my *go to* books. Sure, it's a kind of formula novel, in the same way as a video game, but the author is the one with the imagination, and no quick reflexes needed. Olympia is a single guardian to three boys who, like her, have been orphaned and passed around to distant family members. Her heart is definitely in the right place, but her brain is into research in books. In walks a one-eyed man who looks like a pirate, makes his money legally, and has a family crazier than mine. Let the romance begin. A fine tale with lots of twists, snarks, and situational guffaws.by jT on July 10, 2016

Go Paperless – Save Trees
Go Paperless – Save Trees
OVER THE COURSE OF HIS musical career, Chris Hillman has enjoyed enough success to satisfy several lifetimes.
At 19, he became an original member of The Byrds, whose lineup included David Crosby and Roger McGuinn. They savored international fame, hitting the charts with songs such as "Eight Miles High," "Turn! Turn! Turn," "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "So You Want to Be a Rock and Roll Star," which Mr. Hillman co-wrote with Mr. McGuinn. The Byrds were pioneers in folk rock and country rock.
Four year later, Mr. Hillman joined what became The Flying Burrito Brothers, writing songs including "Sin City" with Gram Parsons.
Then he became part of Stephen Stills' band, Manassas, co-writing "It Doesn't Matter" with Mr. Stills, among other songs. With John David Souther and Richie Furay he formed Souther Hillman Furay, releasing two albums in 1974 and '75. Then he joined forces with two fellow bandmates from The Byrds, Roger McGuinn and Gene Clark, to form the trio McGuinn, Clark and Hillman. They released three albums and had two Top 10 singles.
From 1987-1993, he performed as lead guitarist, singer and mandolin player for The Desert Rose Band. They had 16 Top 10 country chart hits.
"I've been very blessed, lucky, any way you want to term it," Mr. Hillman says. "I really enjoyed music, loved music. It was a passion as a young man, but it was a different world in the '60s."
He kept thinking he'd do music for a year, and then go to college to major in English literature and history. "But something would always happen," he says. "Every year, a door would open and I'd go through it and something would happen musically."
In hindsight, he adds, he wouldn't have wanted it any other way. "I was in these great groups. I was not seeking to be a rock star. I liked to play. I was more of a team player."
He views the years from 1963-1985 as his apprentice years. By 1985, however, "I was running the band, writing the songs and playing lead. I have no regrets. If it stopped tomorrow, I had a great life."
Now 72 years old, Mr. Hillman is still making music. Mr. Pedersen and Mr. Jorgenson join him in concert Friday evening, April 28, at the Center for Performing Arts Bonita Springs.
"We have a very close bond," Mr. Hillman says about the three musicians, noting that they've been making music together for more than 25 years.
Mr. Hillman and Mr. Pedersen put out an album titled "At Edwards Barn," which includes "Eight Miles High" and "Have You Seen Her Face." On it, Mr. Hillman, playing mandolin, celebrates his bluegrass roots.
As a teen before joining The Byrds, he played coffeehouses with The Scottsville Squirrel Barkers.
"I had to bluff my way into that job (with The Byrds)," he recalls. "'Can you play the bass?' 'Sure, sure.' I had never touched one."
The chemistry with the band was "really, really good for a few years" — but not like the bond he has with Mr. Pedersen and Mr. Jorgenson.
"That's part of a successful musical band," he says, "the respect for each other. It's not always perfect, but you have to strive for that, and the music will come right alongside it."
He and Mr. McGuinn co-wrote "So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star," inspired by The Monkees, a group created by TV producers for a sit-com. The song, he says, was a comment about how contrived the whole process was of bringing together four strangers and trying to pretend they were a band like The Beatles. "They trivialized the whole thing with music."
"Here we are, jaded old men in our 20s, 'And with your hair swung right/and your pants too tight,'" he quotes from "So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star."
The Byrds, inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 by Don Henley, made music that still holds up today. Part of that is due to the good advice they received.
"Our first manager gave us such wisdom," Mr. Hillman says. "He said, 'You guys go for substance and depth, make records you're going to be proud of in 40 years. Don't go for the easy hit record, the easy dollar. Do something you'll be proud of.'"
Mr. Crosby and Mr. McGuinn were about three years older, and "pretty world-wise in a sense. Roger had been all over as an accompanist — he worked with The Limeliters, the Chad Mitchell Trio, Judy Collins. He had written in the Brill Building, he'd written for Bobby Darin," he says. "And David, too, had been all over the country as a folk singer.
"Their intellects were quite advanced for their age. We were listening to John Coltrane and Miles Davis and Ravi Shankar before anybody knew about Ravi."
What unlocked his own songwriting was working with South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela. When he came home from that session, he recalls, he just started writing songs.
"It somehow unlocked the door," he says. "I wrote a song a few days later, 'Have You Seen Her Face.'"
The Byrds came along just as the bohemian age was closing down, he says. "It was a different time creatively, musically, with books, film, all of the above.
"We would get these interesting people coming to see us. Lenny Bruce came to see us in the studio, and his gang of people. We looked up and saw him behind the mixing board. It was '64. We had one foot in that time period of the beatnik, bohemians."
Beat poet Allen Gingsberg loved The Byrds, he says, recalling meeting him at a Greenwich Village party.
He remembers playing a private party for Jane Fonda when she was married to French film director Roger Vadim.
"We're in Malibu and I'm playing, and I feel someone pulling on my pants leg," he says. "It's Henry Fonda, and he says, 'Can you turn that thing down?' 'Yes sir, yes sir.'
"Of course we didn't."
Mr. Hillman's mother bought him his first guitar for $10.
"But when I was 14 or 15, I heard the mandolin, bluegrass, old-timey music," he says. "I loved it. I don't know what it was, but I got into it, and been struggling with it for 55 years … In the old days, you didn't have DVDs that taught you to play, or YouTube. All the guys my age would slow down records (to learn songs note-by-note.) But I didn't have the patience."
He'd learn 80-90 percent of the notes and then make up the rest.
When he teaches the mandolin, he tells students, "Play it your own way."
He doesn't remember the first bluegrass song he ever heard, but guesses it was likely something by the New Lost City Ramblers with Mike Seeger on mandolin.
"He was a solo god," Mr. Hillman says about Mr. Seeger. "I love the mandolin. It's so adaptable to any kind of music. You can play jazz on it."
He owns "at least five or six" of them, one, "a beautiful old Gibson" so valuable he won't take it on the road.
As a teen, he played "hillbilly bars," playing bluegrass with three guys who were 10 years older than him. He had a fake ID. "I was 18 and had an ID that said I was 21. No one believed that."
But yet, they let him play in their clubs.
"I remember playing the night John Kennedy was killed," he says. "There were four people in the bar that night."
As an older musician with decades of experience behind him, he finds himself playing differently these days.
"Every young guy, any guitar player, instrumentalist, soloist, when you're young you're playing everything in the world, thousands of notes per measure.
"And when you get older — I guess this applies to life too — you understate things and deal with more subtleties … I approach my playing differently: I play it simply and put more into each note, rather than 40 notes in the same time frame. It applies to any creative part of life; you change your approach. You approach life differently."
He's writing a memoir, with pencil and legal pad, though he modestly wonders, "Does the world really want another aging ex-rock star memoir?"
But, he says, he "wrote down the whole journey through the music, the passion I had for it, the people I worked for."
He's calling it "Time Between," after one of the first songs he wrote with the The Byrds.
He recently recorded another album, "Bidin' My Time," set for release Sept. 22 and co-produced by Tom Petty and Mr. Pedersen, who play on some of the songs.
"It just fell into my lap," he says. "I'm not chasing a career. I wanted to make a really good record. I wanted one last hurrah.
"It's still a lot of fun to get up and play. If people buy your ticket and if you can still sing and play at a certain level of musicianship, then why the heck not?" ¦

James hails from London England and has an extensive career in the music business. As a young musician in London he became one of the most in demand rock guitar players on the club circuit and was recognized in circles with such notables as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Peter Frampton. His first single on Columbia Records was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and had a chart success amongst some of the all-time classic rock hits of that era. As a young guitarist Alan spent several years traveling and entertaining U.S. forces around the world living in Greece, Turkey, Germany, France and Italy.
Alan was hired to be the lead guitarist and vocalist for International singing star Roy Orbison and went on to become Roy's musical director and personal manager for twelve years and has performed at all the major venues around the globe.
Joining James for this performance is guitarist Ray Nesbit, who has traveled around the US working with members of ACDC, Goo Goo Dolls, Moody Blues, Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers, and many more.

Virtuoso guitarist, singer and composer Graham Gillot rounds off the performance with his showmanship and musical range on the guitar. Gillot played lead guitar for Rodriguez, star of the 2012 Oscar winning film "Searching for Sugarmann" and was featured on NBC's #1 show of the summer "America's Got Talent."
Gillot has performed in shows, festivals, theatres, concerts and stadiums internationally around the world including the US, UK, Dubai, Turkey, Spain and South Africa.

His resume of accompaniments includes music legends Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Rosemary Clooney, Stevie Wonder, Mel Torme, and Peggy Lee.

"There's something very, very special about who I call 'The Naples Jazz Lovers.' Part of it might be the nostalgia factor. They lived through the big band era," says Zottola.

When I started seeing products for people who used iPads to read recipes in the kitchen while cooking, I thought it was a joke. Turns out, a lot of folks really do that. If you still haven't figured out the perfect way to use your iPad in those situations, maybe you'll want to trade in your existing knife storage for the Victorinox Knife Block.
At first glance, it looks just like a regular knife block for holding all your bladed cutting implements. On the opposite side of where the knives sit, though, is a built-in shelf sized to hold a tablet in a convenient position. Of course, you can use it to hold a conventional cookbook, too, so it won't have to go to waste when you do end up spilling hot soup on your $400 gadget, bricking it and forcing you to dig up the cookbooks gathering dust in the attic.
The Victorinox Knife Block is made from wood and measures 4.5 x 10.75 x 8.25 inches. It can hold up to 13 knives, with designated slots for a paring knife, a utility knife, a santoku, a chef's knife, a slicer, a honing steel, kitchen shears and six steak knives. Since you'll need it facing one side to access the knives and the other side to access your tablet, it comes with a swiveling base that makes switching from one to the other easy. It comes in two wood finishes: dark and natural.
You can get the Victorinox Knife Block now, priced at $49.95.

Summer is dwindling quickly, but not my summer cooking that's for sure. I'm still trying to get all the grill time in that I can. And with this weekend being the unofficial ending of Summer, I'm going to try and be outside, cooking and playing, as much as possible. I'm envisioning myself on my patio surrounded by my insanely zucchini overrun garden, with a cold bevy, stuffing a big fat burger in my mouth (with these onions on top!)
If I could pick a summer condiment for myself this past season, I think these pickled onions were it! I first made them back in April, but have kept a jar going in my fridge for the past several month making tweaks to the recipe. I think I finally landed on the one I love! I've been added these pickled onions to burger, tacos, eggs, and salads and it really brings the flavor punch up a notch. Plus, they couldn't be easier to put together - such a bonus.
Quick Pickled Onions
- 1 red onion, sliced thinly
- 4 teaspoons of salt
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
First, mix the salt and vinegar in a jar (that has a lid) and combine until the salt is dissolved to make the brine. Add the thinly sliced onion to the brine. Add the lid to the jar and let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, then move to the fridge. You can enjoy these after those first initial hours and they will last in your fridge for -- well a while! I'd say a month or so, but mine never lasted that long.

Via Twitter, Fordham's Michelle Gininger asks if this editorial in the Columbus Dispatch convinces me that there's a "conservative case" for the Common Core State Standards.
It does not. As I said before, a "conservative case" for the CCSS needs to appeal specifically to conservative philosophical concerns. That is, a "conservative case" for the Common Core should probably make some effort to deal with conservative philosophy. The Dispatch editorial does defend the CCSS on two fronts, but in neither case are the arguments conservative per se.
As the authors point out, many critics of the Common Core initiative have objections rooted in "baseless conspiracy theories" that should therefore not be taken seriously. This is true as far as it goes, but note that while these CCSS critics happen to be conservatives their conspiracy theories really have nothing to do with conservative philosophy as such. Moreover, even at its best this point doesn't provide an affirmative argument for the CCSS, let alone an affirmative conservative argument.
The Dispatch editorial does also repeat the oft-heard claim that the CCSS are superior on the merits to the state's existing standards. That may or may not be the case but what, exactly, is "conservative" about that argument? Lots of people think that individual policies should be evaluated based on their specific practical merits, but I suspect that people who identify as conservative are if anything more likely to eschew that view in favor of other procedural concerns (e.g., about the proper role of the federal government.)
Now, maybe part of the issue here is that conservatism is so poorly defined as a political philosophy that "a conservative argument" is just "an argument that self-described conservatives like". I'm guessing that that's not the position that the Fordham Institute really wants to take, but I do increasingly wonder whether it's the position that they are implicitly accepting.

Death Valley's usually barren landscape is springing to life in a rare display of green stalks, purple blossoms and field after field of yellow flowers. And it's only expected to flourish.
"We hope [it] will become a 'super bloom,' which is beyond all your expectations. Those are quite rare, maybe once a decade or so," said Park Ranger Alan Van Valkenburg in a video podcast series the National Park Service co-produces about Death Valley in California.
The last "super bloom" in Death Valley was in February 2005, the national park said on its Facebook page. While flowers fleetingly bloom in the park during many months of the year, it takes the "perfect storm" of conditions to create the massive wildflower blooms Death Valley has become famous for.
There are so many seeds out there just waiting to sprout, just waiting to grow.
Alan Van Valkenburg , Death Valley National Park ranger.
"There are so many seeds out there just waiting to sprout, just waiting to grow," Van Valkenburg said. The blooms are near-impossible to predict and very short-lived, creating a mad scramble to see the normally barren area in a rare lush state once the many buds burst open.
The Park Service reports that the bloom is still "basically localized," but it's beginning to spread beyond the southeastern part of the park. And reports about the size of some of the plants are "mind-boggling," according to park's latest wildflower update. It describes "Jack-in-the-Beanstalk stems of Desert Gold (Geraea canescens)" and "Notchleaf Phacelia standing nearly three feet high."
Van Valkenburg has lived in the park for 25 years and said he's "very excited" about the potential for a wildflower super bloom this year. "It could be a once in a lifetime opportunity."

Simon Holdsworth murder: Victim 'missing gold chain'
Detectives investigating the death of a man whose body was discovered in a field have said a gold chain he was "known to wear" was not found with him.
Simon Holdsworth's body was found in Hackenthorpe, Sheffield, in December. A post-mortem examination found he died from severe head injuries.
South Yorkshire Police said the chain and a Nokia 201 phone were missing.
Det Supt Phil Etheridge said officers were "keeping an open mind" about the missing items.
He said Mr Holdsworth "was known to wear a gold chain and use a black Nokia 201 phone and would have had these items on him the night he died".
"We are keeping an open mind as to how the phone and chain came to be missing and would appeal to anyone who believes they have seen either item, or knows where they are, to call police immediately."
Mr Holdsworth's body was discovered on 17 December in a field off Birley Spa Lane, near Rainbow Forge Primary and the Hogs Head pub.
He had left work in Intake at about 22:55 GMT the previous day and boarded a number 120 First Bus from a stop close to the Noah's Ark pub in Mansfield Road.
A reward of up to £5,000 has been offered for information about Mr Holdsworth's death that leads to an arrest and conviction.

One Fat Guy on a Big Orange Bike riding and loving it. Here I talk about biking and everything related to it.
Monday, September 26, 2011
I just took my first ride with my new pannier I got from Performance Bike. I bought the TransIt Grocery Bag Pannier (http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1023647_-1_1596009_20000_400103) I it was great to be able to go on a longer ride and not have to wear a backpack. I was able to put my little tools, two spare tubes, my lock, and my lunch in the pannier and even had room for a G2 and my helmet.
I really love my new pannier. However,
I just took my first ride with my new pannier and it is driving me crazy! I believe the phrase is "Heel Strike" and after a few miles of it I began to pray God would make my feet smaller. Since it looks like that is one of the only options I have. Over the next few days I plan on trying to move the pannier around and see if I can find a spot on the Rack that will allow me to use the pannier.
Until then I'll just have to try and deal with the thump thump thump of my heel.

Interview with Chief Executive Officer, Compass Group
After focusing on the US and Europe, Richard Cousins, chief executive of UK-based catering and facility management company Compass Group, with a global annual revenue of £17.6 billion, has turned his attention to India and China. Reason: These countries see 25 per cent growth in the foods business, Cousins tells Rohit Nautiyal. Excerpts:
How high is the demand for outsourced catering globally and what is the penetration level of Compass Group?
Globally, half the catering is outsourced. While we operate in the facility management space, our core business is feeding blue- and white-collar employees at various organisations. The US accounts for 43 per cent of our business, followed by UK (10 per cent). France is our third-largest market, followed by Australia, Brazil, Japan and Canada. Our clients include Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard and IBM. Healthcare and education comprise 30 per cent of our business. We are also present in defence, and sports & leisure.
What are some of the recent changes in food consumption at workplaces around the world?
Increased concern over food safety and hygiene is one; this has also been Compass Group's priority since the group's inception. Standardisation is a more subtle debate. For instance, the eating habits in Manhattan have no similarities with those in southern California, which has a sizeable Hispanic population. In the last 10 years, many of our clients have demanded healthy and innovative food. Besides, consumers are also interested in technology integration with daily meal consumption. For example, our clients like to share their eating habits on various social media platforms.
With North America and Europe reaching a saturation point in foods business, what are some of the promising emerging markets for Compass Group?
Till 2012, we had certain legacy challenges to resolve. Currently, we are growing six per cent year-on-year in the US. While our growth rate is negative in Europe, we are hoping food business will pick up soon, helping us achieve the growth target of three per cent year-on-year in the next three years. Through the last five years, we have turned our focus to emerging markets by making a slew of acquisitions across Turkey, Brazil, South Africa and India, among others. In fact, we are very excited about the opportunities in India and China because at this point, these two markets alone have the potential to grow at 25 per cent. In these countries, we are investing in standardising processes, training and information technology, especially in enhancing enterprise solutions. But executing this could be challenging in China, where state-owned companies meet their catering requirements in-house.
What are your hiring plans for emerging markets in the next five years?
With 200,000 employees, we are the 11th largest employer in the US. About 13,000 employees are working for us in India. In the next four years, we will be hiring about 40,000 employees across our offices in Asia.

text: There is an ancient Hopi Indian Legend that describes a tribe of people called the Lizard People. Although not much is known of them, it is believed that they developed a massive underground tunnel network that connected their subterranean cities together. One of their cities is believed to be located underneath Times Mirror Square. It hasn't been proven if they actually existed but in recent times construction workers have found networks of tunnels under the square.

There are a lot of different places you can go for information about home schooling your children. Public school is not the only option, though it is the most popular one. Private school is another option that you may look to, but it can become expensive. Homeschooling is yet another option. Have you given any thought to this unique learning model? If you believe so, read the following article for solid advice!
While you want to protect your kids from negative influences by some children in the public school system, it is necessary to provide external interaction with other children. Plan some play dates with other children in your area. Go to the playground or park and allow your kids to play with others. You can even sign them up for sports or local clubs like 4H.
Have you considered the financial hit you may take by homeschooling your kids? It can be a huge financial hit if you need to quit working in order to teach your children. Those already staying home with the kids still need to factor in the time they will no longer have to take care of routine household duties.
Learning isn't restricted to your children – you also have to learn as much as you can about the topics you teach, how to teach more effectively and how to run an efficient homeschool. You can find a plethora of information online on blogs, websites and through videos and podcasts. Locate experts in the field and follow what they share. Pick up books and keep them as references. The more you know, the more your kids will learn.
Just because your kids are the only ones in your neighborhood to be homeschooled doesn't mean that you're alone. Not only can you find other homeschooling parents in your city, but you'll find many groups online who share your philosophy that education begins at home. There are conferences, clubs and even support groups waiting for you to use their resources. There are even cruised! If you take the time to search, you'll find a treasure trove lies before you.
If you want your children's homeschooling experience to be as well-rounded as possible, then consider putting physical education on the schedule. Not only will this teach your children healthy habits, studies have repeatedly shown that physical activity helps to stimulate the mind. Even better, combine physical fitness with social time by enrolling your children in a dance class or by signing them up for a summer sports team.
When drafting your goals for your homeschooling classroom, be reasonable. Don't expect your kids to finish high school by the time they're 12, or to spend every waking minute in the classroom. You need to give them the ability to learn at their own pace while absorbing as much as possible. The goals you set should be both short- and long-term so that you find achievement comes at frequent intervals, meaning rewards can be given as well as congratulations.
The world is full of unique and interesting learning opportunities, many of which are most accessible to homeschooled students. Use what you've learned just now, and try homeschooling. You may find that homeschooling is easier and more enjoyable than you may have anticipated.

Lotus tattoos are not considered to be the most frequent type of skin decoration, but at the same time they can be found in many cultures all over the world. It is necessary to admit that this flower is one of the most vivid symbols, which is not only able to decorate everybody regardless of gender and age, but also has a very deep meaning. The professionals are sure, that lotus is a very special flower. It grows in marshy impassable terrain, but despite that retains the purity and beauty. Overcoming the obstacles of mud and sludge, it reveals on the surface, showing its splendor.

I want to make an Anti theft system which would operate similar to this:
The device is placed inside any expensive thing like car, scooter, bike, or laptop, mobile, etc. Device has an inbuilt GPS system which tracks at which longitude\ latitude it presently is at. This tracking is updated every 10-20 mitutes n sent wirelessly to d main controle system at some fixed location (like say my room). and main system is connected to computer. n data is updated at internet. So now whenever a thing is stolen, i can locate it by searching for those longitude or lattitude in google earth. and i expect to get a very exact position of the stolen thing.
Problem: Main problem is that how should I transfer the data from the device to the main system? Because in case of theft distances could be as large as several hundreds kilometer. So what technology should I use.

Varina, Virginia Information
Established in 1611, Varina, Virginia is located in the easternmost part of Henrico County, Virginia and named for Varina Farms, a plantation that was established by John Rolfe and James River, with John's wife, Pocahontas, living part of her life in in this county. Thus, her face is pictured on Henrico's seal and flag.
Varina, Virginia Details
Places to Go
Some must-see places also include Clarke-Palmore House Museum built beginning in 1819. After John Clarke bought the property in 1855, he added the second story. The building was donated along with 12 acres to Henrico County in 1999.
The Dabbs house, on Miles Road, was once used by General Robert E. Lee as his field headquarters in the summer of 1862. Later it became a house to use for the poor. Today it is used as a visitor information center that also gives tours of the house.
Enjoy a Crosswind Adventure Tour at Deep Bottom Park for a peaceful ride along the James River where you can relax and get away from it all for a day exploring the creeks and ponds and waterways of the lower James with stops along the way for snacks and drinks. Be sure to take this Paddleboard tour available on Saturdays and Sundays from May through September.
While you're in this area, make sure to visit Osborne Boat Landing on the north side of the River where you can park your boat or have access to a fishing pier. There is also a playground, walking trails and a boardwalk. Cyclists love this area also.
There are plenty of places to eat in this city, including Chinese food at Peter Chang's, Maya Mexican Grill and Tequila House and Maggiano's Little Italy. If you're in the mood for a Barbeque, try Mission BBQ where you'll sit in a patriotic room and enjoy a meal with some of the freshest ingredients.

Highly recommend Keyrenter! As homeowners self-managing our property, we found ourselves struggling to find tenants in the off-season. Calvin and Ashley went above and beyond to ensure the house was in the best condition possible and worked tirelessly to ensure we found the perfect tenants.

Lorrie M., Satisfied Client
I happened to stumble over Keyrenter Property Management after being jostled around by multiple property management companies. Not being from Richmond made finding a home even more difficult and Keyrenter was amazing in this process. The communication is great and Calvin and his team have been more than accommodating to my family and I. I would give this 10 stars if I could. Highly recommended.

How the CVap Oven Changed the Foodservice Game
While most foodservice equipment is designed to transform food in some way, either by cooking it, warming it, or cooling it, the Winston CVap oven was developed to change food as little as possible from "just cooked." Winston Shelton, the founder of Winston Industries, has devoted his life to engineering and refining equipment to keep food in that state, with the goal of giving operators flexibility in when they can prepare and serve food.
Traditional food-holding equipment is notorious for drying food out, altering its taste and texture in ways that render perfectly-prepared food inedible. Since food is mostly water - lean beef is 75 percent water, while some foods, like fruits and vegetables, owe over 90 percent of their mass to water - the importance of maintaining the natural moisture in foods cannot be overstated. While food is cooking, some degree of evaporation is usually desirable because it is essential to browning, caramelization, and other processes that create the flavors we love in our foods. But when operators need to hold food until it's served, evaporation is the enemy.
It is with that knowledge that Shelton began developing his oven. He knew that for centuries, cooks had developed methods of preserving the moisture content of foods to produce a more succulent, appetizing end product. That practice includes methods as broad as casserole cooking, sous vide, and even wrapping foods in leaves before roasting them in the embers of an open fire. Shelton's challenge was to build a piece of equipment that could consistently replicate those results on a commercial scale.
The science behind the equipment is fairly simple, based on the common understanding that moisture begins to evaporate when the air surrounding it is warmer than the water itself. The key is to create an environment where the moisture in the air is at equilibrium with the moisture content of the food, so that water is not lost or absorbed as food is held. That balance allows food to be held for hours in that golden "just cooked" state until it is served.
Modern Winston CVap cook and hold ovens take that control even further by giving operators the ability to precisely control the moisture in the air, as well as the temperature of the air itself. That means food can be cooked and even browned, then held using the same piece of equipment. Controlling moisture not only results in a more tasty and visually-appealing product, but produces more yield per pound versus traditional methods that dry the product out and shrink it.
4 Time-Saving CVap Methods that Can Revolutionize your Kitchen
- Staging - Operators that do high volumes of one particular item - burgers for example - can take advantage of CVap staging. Rather than cooking each burger individually to order, this method allows cooks to heat big batches ahead of time, keeping them hot but still rare and juicy. As burgers are ordered, cooks finish them one by one on the broiler or the griddle, getting them done and ready to serve in a fraction of time it would take to heat them from cold. The same process can be applied to everything from steaks to chicken.
- Sous Vide - Literally "under vacuum", sous vide is a technique wherein foods are vacuum-sealed in a bag and traditionally cooked in a water bath that's held at the precise temperature cooks need to achieve their desired results. These ovens give you the same results using a method that's much easier to scale, so heating two dozen steaks to a perfect 135 degrees F is precise and repeatable batch after batch.
- Fermentation - From kimchi to charcuterie, fermentation is a technique that's on the minds of many chefs these days. It's a process that generally takes days or weeks and involves a number of difficult-to-control variables, but fermentation can be accelerated and made easier in a CVap oven. Chefs across the country are developing fermentation techniques using these ovens.
- Eggs for Everything - Part of what makes the egg so incredible is its versatility. A mere 30 degrees F makes the difference between a raw egg and a hard-boiled egg, and that's why it can be so difficult to achieve the perfectly poached texture that a cook has in mind for his recipe. This equipment makes that precision control easy, allowing cooks to dial in the precise temperature they want and cook their eggs not a degree higher. This equipment also negates some of the fussiness of custards and cheesecake, too, and the moisture means no cumbersome water baths to contend with.
